Reproductive biology of Lepidocephalichthys guntea: a key conservation approach considering environmental factors in Payra River, Bangladesh
The guntea loach, Lepidocephalichthys guntea, is categorically common freshwater fish in Southeast Asia. Current study is the first elucidation on the reproductive feature of L. guntea including population structure, sex ratio (SR), size at first maturity (Lm), breeding period, and condition factor, emphasizing on the effect of environmental factors on reproduction of this fish in the Payra River (Southern Bangladesh) during July 2021 to June 2022. Using various conventional gears, 1128 individuals (534 males and 594 females) have been collected. Total length (TL), standard length (SL), and body weight (BW) of each fish were measured. Ovaries were cautiously dissected, removed, and precisely weighed. TL ranges from 4.6 to 9.7 cm (BW = 0.7–9.27 g) for male and 4.6–10.3 cm (BW = 0.8–10.75 g) for female. Both male (47.34%) and female (52.66%) populations were the leading group in 7.00–7.99 cm TL. Overall SR was not notably altered from anticipated value of 1:1 (male:female = 1:1.11). Nonetheless, monthly variations of SR specified females were considerably outnumbered males in each month excluding March–May. Lm range was 6.4–7.0 cm, so larger than Lm is recommended to exploit. Monthly changes in GSI indicated that the main spawning season was from March to June. The spawning season was substantially correlated with rainfall, nonetheless with temperature. Additionally, relative weight indicated that habitat was imbalanced with higher predators. A fishing ban is recommended during peak spawning to protect L. guntea in the Payra River and its surroundings based on current research.

Development of a Sustainable Polyculture Technique Using Asian Watergrass as Fish Feed in the Southern Coastal Region of Bangladesh
Globally, the quality and high cost of fish feed are vital issues for the development of sustainable aquaculture and food security. Present study was investigated in 4 treatments to find out the compatible species combination for polyculture using Asian watergrass as natural feed for fish in the tidally flooded coastal wetlands for a period of 6 months. Grass carp, common carp, tilapia, mrigal and silver barb were stocked in different species combination with an identical density of 12500 fish ha-1. In all treatments, grass carp and common carp were commonly stocked but other 3 species were disparate to stock among the treatments. Important water quality parameters were monitored those were suitable and acceptable range for aquaculture. The survival of fishes varied from 66.7±8.3 to 91.2±2.9% irrespective of fish species. The total fish production was found significantly higher (p<0.05), 5579.04±238.74 kg ha-1 in T3 followed by 4582.21±200.01 kg ha-1 in T2, 4571.52±189.78 kg ha-1 in T4 and 4448.37±247.26 kg ha-1 in T1 respectively. The results demonstrate that the combination of grass carp, common carp, tilapia, and silver barb in T3 was ideal compatible species for polyculture in coastal wetlands. This technique should be applied in haor, baor, beel, canals, and other water-logged areas pervaded by climate changes.
